MSNBC Breaking News: 4 Dead 6 Injured In Houston Crane Collapse

The largest crane in the nation collapsed at a Houston refinery today, killing 4 workers and injuring 6 others. Officials were not sure if the workers were on the crane or under it when it fell over. The crane which belonged to Deep South Crane & Rigging, had been brought in to remove drums from inside a coking unit, but was not scheduled to work on Friday. Full Story...

Terry, as someone who covers the media I think there is a big difference between someone covering a shark attack and a crane collapse. What the media often fails to do, however, is extend this story out and show how the working conditions themselves are the problem and often lead to the issues that lead to accidents like these.

Oh, and by the way, if you don't like the story, don't read it. If you don't like the blog, don't visit it.
